The Millards are father and son; Ryan is Arthur Millard's sister-in-law and Earl Millard's aunt. The three allegedly "rescued" stray cats from the streets of Troy and the trailer park, police said.

They were charged with one count each of failure to provide proper sustenance/animal neglect, a misdemeanor, and one count each of failing to provide the animals with vaccinations which is a violation of public health law.

Daniel Butler, supervisor of the Saratoga County Animal Hospital, said eight of the cats were adopted Monday. Another 67 have been sent to foster homes. Those include pregnant cats, mothers with kittens, and kittens too small to be spayed or neutered.
